Since the expectation of a possible trade with Jamal Adams is waiting for us, we cannot help thinking: “Does Adams fit in with the defense system of the 49ers?”
Adams is undoubtedly a top security in the league. His skills are not questioned. But the truth is, when a player is used to a certain system, it can sometimes be difficult to make changes.
For this reason, All49ers Sports Illustrated brought in former security chancellor James. The former Boise State Standout spent the 2018 season and part of the 2019 preseason with the team.
“When it comes to the transition, I see no problem with the transition,” said James. “I think he’ll have better security in this defense.” They do many things with the jets, leaving their collateral themselves. When it comes to defending the 49ers, everyone takes care of each other. ”
Even though most of the Adams coverage snaps have been assigned to man coverage, Adams has only allowed a completion percentage of 55 and a passer rating of 74.8 in the past two seasons if this was selected as the target. Now imagine his abilities in a 49ers defense, in which “everyone takes care of each other”.
Adams has flashed the quarterback 134 times more than Jaquiski Tartt in the past two seasons. “What Adams adds is his soccer IQ,” said James. ”
The 49ers defense is known for covering three schemes. “With the 49ers defense,” said James, “he will have a buzz drop and he will know the routes so that he will now be able to search the routes faster.” It’s no longer about flashing. It’s about how it actually becomes cover security. He’s okay, so I can see he’s doing better.
“When it came to a perfect fit in this position, they said Kam Chancellor was a perfect fit. Now they say that Derwin James fits perfectly. “
Chancellor has had no sacks in his last six seasons. While James, who plays the same position in the same scheme, had 3.5 sacks in his rookie season. The evidence of Adams’ prototype can stand out.
But there is still pushing back.
Because of the jet scheme, Adams has developed a reputation for boxing security. “If anyone asks, Adams is the best security in the league right now,” said James. “Why don’t you want him there?” He can play in the box and he can play deep. “
Adams has distinguished himself with the jets, even though there is no support system to make his Sunday job easier. Adding Adams would not only give the 49ers the best defense in the league – it would give them the top three if not the best players at all three levels of defense in Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and Adams.
The Super Bowl window is now. There is no time to wait. Get Adams.
